Morning Prayer August 20, 2013

Wisdom, when we have that itch to remember who we really are, to know ourselves as bearers of blessing and growers of hope, when we have struggled and are in danger of diminishment, help us find and know and use our gifts, these blessings that bear new blessings into being. Wisdom, help us find and know and use our gifts, our gifts of song and scientific inquiry, our gifts of healing and storytelling for a better world, our gifts of creating something wonderful out of nothing and of encouraging one another when we are struggling to truly live. Wisdom, help us find and know and use our gifts, the ways we can best aid and abet what is precious and holy and wholly wonderful, the ways we can feed the world and have laughing, loving, forgiving, resilient, creative communities, the ways we can choose to make and keep laws that make sense because they create ways for everyone to share their gifts for goodness and cherish this astounding world. Wisdom, help us find and know and use our gifts, to love the ones our neighbors and strangers have, to love our own, and to nurture together, with these gifts, a new blessing of our world in every new day. Amen.
